I started out by spattering my background with frisket/Masking fluid and then inked my background . I used distress ink Tumbled glass and Faded Jeans. I then stamped and colored my images with watercolor pencils. I diecut the grass and created a Little scene Before trimming it and adding it to at black piece of cardstock to create a frame for my panel.
For the sentiment I used the Dymo font and printed it from my computer.

Hi Everyone! I am so super excited because I am guest designing for Hero Arts today. I've had a wonderful time playing with Hero Arts beautiful new vintage sets:

For the first card I simply stamped the beautiful mistletoe stamp from the Happy Holly Days set two times and colored them with Copic markers.

I then fussy cut them and tied them together with a thin piece of red ribbon. (I actually didn’t have red ribbon, but white that I colored with my Copic markers — a super fast and easy way to get ribbon in exactly the color you want!) The sentiment is from the beautiful Snowy Tree set.

For my second card I started out by stamping the fir twig from the Vintage Christmas Post set with green ink and then diecut the panel using the Rectangle Infinity Dies. I diecut it two ways to get it wider than it is from the beginning. I then stamped my cones with dark brown ink and colored them with Copic markers before fussy cutting them.

The cone stamp is from Happy Holly Days. I then added them to my panel with foam adhesive along with some red pearls. The sentiment is from the Holiday Messages and Tags set.I also share my cards, watercolors and papercraft projects on Instagram.Have a great day! Hugs, Karin

I tried two different versions but they came out too alike - I wanted to get a looser version and it usually helps to paint a second painting of the same subject - when you "know" the subject well - but not this time )-:
